Any free cell addicts here?
What's you're percentage? Mine is 53% (118 W, 98 L), after I battled back from 50%.

3. A couple of years ago I maintained an 87% average over a
thousand games. I thought I was the stuff, but there are prob'ly better champions than I.

5. Totally addicted
IMHO FreeCell is the crack cocaine of desktop game/time wasters. I even went so far as to BUY a version for my Palm Pilot. Eventually, Acid Free Cell became the only reason I owned a Palm Pilot.

However, I must say that it's a great way to kill a couple hours when you're stuck in a snowstorm at Chicago Midway airport, waiting for the next plane back to Minneapolis/St Paul.

6. It's so much more of a rush than Solitaire
I hear it's a gateway to Spider Solitaire, though.

16. Medium here as well
but I did win the difficult level ONCE. I try it now and then and wonder why the hell I even bother.

My second favorite game is Minesweeper.

24. I used to play free cell way before it was on the computer
I found the computer version to be too easy (90%+ winning percentage) and then I found spider which I play on medium and only win about 45% (climbing up from 40%)

17. My win streak was either 31 or 35.
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 02:49 PM by pinniped
Spider cheats too much on the medium difficulty level so I deleted it.

18. I always wipe out the stats when I lose
I have this delusion that I'm going to have a winning streak that goes on forever, but I've never gotten past 9 straight wins.

22. Want a real challenge? Play Hearts and try to win with a ZERO score...
I guarantee you'll play hundreds of games before getting it...even if you get so much as 1 point, start over...
